iPadOS 15 终于赶上了 iOS，为 iPad 引入了主屏幕(Home Screen)小部件和应用程序库，以及(App Library)Focus、SharePlay和Universal Control等新功能。您可以获得许多不那么明显的额外调整和增强功能。
如果您刚刚升级到 iPadOS 15 或给自己买了一台新 iPad，那么下面的提示和技巧应该可以显着提高平板电脑的工作效率。
1.在主屏幕(Home Screen)创建智能堆栈(Create Smart Stacks)
iPadOS 15 可让您将小部件添加到类似于 iPhone的主屏幕。(add widgets to the Home Screen)但是，拥有多个小部件会很快占用屏幕空间，因此构建小部件堆栈是对空间的最佳利用。只需(Just)将类似大小的小部件拖到其他小部件上即可创建堆栈。然后，您可以通过上下滑动来筛选它们。
默认情况下，小部件堆栈会根据使用模式自动旋转。如果您想停止，请长按堆栈并选择Edit Widget。然后，关闭智能旋转(Smart Rotate)。
2.将应用程序库切换到列表视图
App Library是随 iPadOS 首次亮相的另一项 iPhone 功能，它包含您在 iPad 上安装的每个应用程序。但是，挖掘每个类别可能很耗时。
通过向下滑动App Library或点击顶部的Search App Library框切换到列表视图。(List)然后，您可以按字母顺序向下滚动（不要忘记右侧的索引）并快速找到您想要的应用程序。
3.整理主屏幕
在 iPadOS 中，您可以从主屏幕(Home Screen)页面中删除任何应用程序，它会继续显示在应用程序库(App Library)中。您可以通过长按应用程序图标并选择Remove App > Remove From Home Screen来做到这一点。
4. 仅安装到应用程序库
如果您喜欢尝试许多新应用程序（但讨厌它们使主屏幕(Home Screen)混乱），您可以让它们仅显示在应用程序库(App Library)中。打开设置(Settings)应用程序，然后点击主屏幕(Home Screen )>仅应用程序库(App Library Only)。选择安装到应用程序库(App Library)。
5. 管理主屏幕页面
iPadOS 让管理主屏幕(Home Screen)页面变得轻而易举。长按空白屏幕区域进入微动模式，然后点击 iPad Dock上方的圆点条。然后，您可以隐藏主屏幕(Home Screen)页面、拖动它们以更改顺序，甚至删除它们。
6. iPad 上的多任务轻松
几年来，iPad 上的多任务处理能力(ability to multitask on the iPad)已经改变了游戏规则。使用iPadOS 15，在(Slide Over)拆分视图(Split View)或侧拉中设置应用程序变得更加容易。不要使用传统的手势，而是尝试点击应用顶部的那一小排三个点。显示的工具栏可让您进入Split View或Slide Over。
从全尺寸应用程序进入拆分视图可让您直接从(Split View)主屏幕(Home Screen)选择另一个应用程序进行多任务处理。但是，某些应用程序可能不支持此功能并且顶部有三个点。
7.创建快速笔记
如果您使用Apple Pencil，则可以通过调用Quick Note随时随地开始记笔记。只需(Just)从屏幕右下角拖入即可创建新笔记。然后，将其拖动到屏幕的任意角落。您可以在笔记应用程序的快速笔记( Quick Notes)文件夹下找到您的笔记。
8. 创建自定义焦点配置文件
无论您使用 iPad 做什么，您都会爱上新的Focus模式。它会根据活动阻止通知，但来自选定应用程序和联系人的通知除外。您可以通过点击控制中心内的“请勿(Control Center)打扰(Disturb)”图标在四种默认模式（个人(Personal)、驾驶(Driving)、工作(Work)和睡眠(Sleep)）之间切换。
您还可以创建自定义焦点(Focus)配置文件。为此，请打开“设置”(Settings)应用并点击“焦点”(Focus) > “添加(Add)” 。
9. 使用标签管理笔记
iPadOS 15 中的备忘录app 支持主题标签。(Notes)它们可以帮助您组织笔记。只需(Just)在创建或编辑笔记时将它们插入到任何地方。

您还可以使用智能文件夹(Smart Folders)（点击新建文件夹(New Folder)图标并选择笔记(Notes)侧边栏上的新建智能文件夹(New Smart Folder )）根据预定义的标签连续过滤笔记。
10. 在线保护您的隐私
您是否为额外的 iCloud 存储空间付费？如果是这样，Apple应该会自动将您升级到 iCloud+。iCloud+ 最棒的地方在于它能够隐藏您的 IP 地址并使用称为 iCloud Private Relay的功能加密网络活动。前往“设置”(Settings) > “ Apple ID ” > “ iCloud ” > “ iCloud Private Relay ”以激活它。
11. 保护您的电子邮件 ID
另一个关键的 iCloud+ 特权是能够使用虚拟地址隐藏您的电子邮件 ID，尤其是在订阅不熟悉的网站时。前往“设置”(Settings) > “ Apple ID ” > “ iCloud ” > “隐藏您的电子邮件(Hide Your Email )”以开始使用该功能。
12. 复制图片中的文字
iPadOS 15 支持实时文本(Live Text)功能。只需调出任何带有文本的图像，您就可以像普通文本一样选择它们。例如，这使得从扫描的文档中复制内容变得轻而易举。
13. 在 Safari 中安装扩展
iPadOS 15 中的Safari(Safari)更接近于成为支持扩展的成熟桌面浏览器。检查App Store中的(App Store)Safari Extensions类别以开始安装语法检查器、密码管理器、内容拦截器等。然后您可以通过转到Settings > Safari > Extensions来管理它们。
14. 创建标签组
Safari还通过引入选项卡组使管理选项卡更加方便。调出选项卡切换器并打开选项卡组( Tab Groups)菜单以开始对选项卡进行分组。然后，您可以使用相同的菜单在它们之间切换。
15. 在任何地方翻译文本
在 iPadOS 15 中，Apple将 iPhone 的翻译(Translate)应用程序引入了 iPad。但您不必使用它来翻译其他应用程序（例如 Messages 或Safari）中的文本。相反，只需突出显示文本并点击翻译(Translate)即可在应用程序本身内执行翻译。
16.启用低功耗模式
iPadOS 15 终于让你在 iPad上通过低电量模式(Low Power Mode)节省电池寿命(conserve battery life on your iPad)。要打开它，请转到“设置”(Settings) > “电池”，然后打开“(Battery)启用低功耗模式(Enable Low Power Mode)”旁边的开关。
17.检查图像元数据
如果您使用照片，您可以通过在照片(Photos)应用程序中查看它们时向上滑动（或点击信息(Info)图标）来检查任何图像的 EXIF 元数据(check any image’s EXIF metadata)。您还可以通过点击调整(Adjust)来编辑时间和位置。
18. 与任何人进行 FaceTime
在 iPadOS 15 中，您可以通过任何联系人使用FaceTime，无论他们是否拥有Apple设备。使用FaceTime应用程序中的“(FaceTime)创建链接”(Create Link)选项创建任何人都可以通过桌面或移动浏览器加入的可共享链接。
19. 改善电子邮件隐私
使用股票邮件(Mail)应用程序，您可以指示 iPadOS阻止邮件中侵犯隐私的跟踪像素(block privacy-invasive tracking pixels)。为此，请打开“设置”(Settings)应用并转到“邮件”(Mail) > “隐私保护”(Privacy Protection)。打开保护邮件活动(Protect Mail Activity)旁边的开关。
20.尝试连续听写
iPad 在将语音转录为文本方面做得很好。但是，如果每分钟点击一次麦克风(Microphone)图标让您无法使用之前的功能，那么是时候再试一次了。iPadOS 15 支持连续听写，所以不要忘记在Messages、Notes、Pages等中定期使用它。
21. 获取临时 iCloud 存储
如果您想迁移到新 iPad，您可以将完整备份上传到 iCloud，而无需支付额外存储空间。前往“设置”(Settings) > “通用(General)” > “传输或重置 iPad(Transfer or Reset iPad) ” > “开始(Get Started)使用”以备份您的数据。然后，您有 21 天的时间将数据恢复到另一台 iPadOS 设备。

21 Best iPadOS 15 Tips and Tricks
iPadOS 15 finally caught up with iOS by introducіng Home Screen widgets and the App Library to iPad and new features such as Focus, SharePlay, and Universаl Control. You can get many additional tweakѕ and enhаncemеnts that aren’t as аpparent.
If you just upgraded to iPadOS 15 or got yourself a new iPad, the tips and tricks below should allow for significantly more productivity on your tablet.
1. Create Smart Stacks in Home Screen
iPadOS 15 lets you add widgets to the Home Screen similar to the iPhone. However, having multiple widgets can quickly eat up screen real-estate, so building widget stacks is the best use of space. Just drag similarly-sized widgets on top of others to create a stack. You can then sift through them by swiping up and down.
By default, widget stacks rotate automatically based on usage patterns. If you want to stop that, long-press a stack and select Edit Widget. Then, switch off Smart Rotate.
2. Switch App Library to List View
The App Library, another iPhone feature that debuts with iPadOS, features every app you’ve installed on your iPad. However, digging through each category can be time-consuming.
Switch to List view by swiping down the App Library or tapping on the Search App Library box at the top. You can then scroll down in alphabetical order (don’t forget the index to the right) and quickly get to the app you want.
3. Declutter the Home Screen
In iPadOS, you can remove any app from a Home Screen page, and it will continue to show up within the App Library. You can do that by long-pressing an app icon and selecting Remove App > Remove From Home Screen.
4. Install to App Library Only
If you love to try out lots of new apps (but hate that they clutter the Home Screen), you can make them show up within the App Library only. Open the Settings app and tap Home Screen > App Library Only. Select Install to App Library.
5. Manage Home Screen Pages
iPadOS makes managing Home Screen pages a breeze. Long-press a vacant screen area to enter jiggle mode and tap the strip of dots above the iPad’s Dock. You can then hide Home Screen pages, drag them to change the order, or even delete them.
6. Multi-Task on iPad Easily
For several years, the ability to multitask on the iPad has been a game-changer. With iPadOS 15, setting up apps in Split View or Slide Over is even easier. Instead of using the traditional gestures, try tapping that tiny row of three dots at the top of an app. The revealed toolbar lets you enter Split View or Slide Over.
Entering Split View from a full-sized app lets you pick another app for multi-tasking directly from the Home Screen. However, some apps may not support this feature and have the three dots on top.
7. Create Quick Notes
If you use an Apple Pencil, you can start taking notes wherever you want by invoking Quick Note. Just drag in from the bottom-right of the screen to create a fresh note. Then, drag it to any corner of the screen. You can find your notes under the Quick Notes folder of the Notes app.
8. Create Custom Focus Profiles
No matter what you use your iPad for, you’re going to fall in love with the new Focus mode. It blocks notifications except those from select apps and contacts depending on activity. You get to switch between four default modes—Personal, Driving, Work, and Sleep—by tapping the Do Not Disturb icon within the Control Center.
You can also create custom Focus profiles. To do that, open the Settings app and tap Focus > Add.
9. Manage Notes Using Tags
The Notes app in iPadOS 15 supports hashtags. They help you organize notes. Just insert them anywhere while creating or editing a note.
The Tags section within the Notes sidebar will then display every tag you’ve created. Just pick them to filter related notes instantly.
You can also use Smart Folders (tap the New Folder icon and select New Smart Folder on the Notes sidebar) to filter notes continuously based on predefined tags.
10. Preserve Your Privacy Online
Do you pay for extra iCloud storage? If so, Apple should’ve automatically upgraded you to iCloud+. The best thing about iCloud+ is its ability to hide your IP address and encrypt network activity using a feature called iCloud Private Relay. Head over to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Private Relay to activate it.
11. Protect Your Email ID
Another key iCloud+ perk is the ability to hide your email ID using dummy addresses, especially when subscribing to unfamiliar websites. Head over to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Hide Your Email to start utilizing the feature.
12. Copy Text in Images
iPadOS 15 supports Live Text functionality. Just bring up any image with text, and you get to select them similar to normal text. That makes copying stuff from scanned documents, for example, a breeze.
13. Install Extensions in Safari
Safari in iPadOS 15 takes a step closer to becoming a full-fledged desktop browser with support for extensions. Check the Safari Extensions category in the App Store to start installing grammar checkers, password managers, content blockers, etc. You can then manage them by heading over to Settings > Safari > Extensions.
14. Create Tab Groups
Safari also makes managing tabs more convenient by introducing tab groups. Bring up the Tab Switcher and open the Tab Groups menu to start grouping tabs. You can then switch between them using the same menu.
15. Translate Text Anywhere
With iPadOS 15, Apple introduced the iPhone’s Translate app to the iPad. But you don’t have to use it to translate text in other apps (such as Messages or Safari). Instead, just highlight the text and tap Translate to perform the translation within the app itself.
16. Enable Low Power Mode
iPadOS 15 finally lets you conserve battery life on your iPad with Low Power Mode. To turn it on, go to Settings > Battery and turn on the switch next to Enable Low Power Mode.
17. Check Image Metadata
If you work with photos, you can check any image’s EXIF metadata by swiping up (or tapping the Info icon) while viewing them within the Photos app. You can also edit the time and location by tapping Adjust.
18. FaceTime With Anyone
In iPadOS 15, you get to FaceTime with any contact regardless of whether they have an Apple device or not. Use the Create Link option within the FaceTime app to create shareable links that anyone can use to join in via a desktop or mobile browser.
19. Improve Email Privacy
Using the stock Mail app, you can instruct iPadOS to block privacy-invasive tracking pixels in messages. To do that, open the Settings app and go to Mail > Privacy Protection. Turn on the switch next to Protect Mail Activity.
20. Try Out Continuous Dictation
The iPad does a great job at transcribing speech to text. But if tapping the Microphone icon once every minute kept you from using the functionality before, it’s time to give it another shot. iPadOS 15 supports continuous dictation, so don’t forget to use it regularly in Messages, Notes, Pages, etc.
21. Get Temporary iCloud Storage
If you want to migrate to a new iPad, you can upload a full backup to iCloud without paying for extra storage. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Get Started to back up your data. You then have 21 days to restore the data to another iPadOS device.
Another Step Closer
With superior Home Screen management, improved multi-tasking capabilities, and additional privacy-related controls, iPadOS 15 manages to take another step closer to being the ideal laptop replacement. Keep using Apple’s latest mobile operating system, and you can find more ways to get the most out of your iPad.
